Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States later today. President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are expected to take the oath of office at around 5pm GMT (Midday EST). Please continue discussion of US Politics here.

welcome to the mountaintop Group: Admin.

Ridiculous pardons from Trump yesterday in showing up the really unusual powers of the President but should all be in the past very soon.

Even (especially?) in the dying days of his presidency, Trump has proven to be utterly unfit for the role. I'm hopeful that Biden can truly see through a lot of his agenda, it won't be easy, but I think he needs to take the ''if this were a Republican as president they wouldn't hesitate to do whatever they wanted'' approach. Assuming of course Mitch decides to be an immovable wall for the next 2 years, which seems sadly inevitable.

Ridiculous pardon list aside, let's hope this is the beginning of something better for America, hopefully, the only time we hear about Trump after this is when he's being charged for his crimes.

Mine too just, and I’m slightly younger than you. Don’t forget as well, we’re also on our seventh prime minister.

He is talking about making a new party. If he does that, rhen the Democrats could also split into progressives and their current centre right one, making a four party system. But we'll see.

It's so on brand for his narcissim, but so pathetic, that Trump didn't attend. He'll use not attending as a line in his rallies for the next four yeara. "I won and didn't go to that FAKE INAUGURATION!!! I deserve two more terms now brcause of that!" and blah blah blah.
